Beyond closing time really doesn't matter. You're either hooked-up by then or you're not. If you're not then it's all a moot point. But if you are, what really matters is what she looks like when you wake up in the morning.
The thing is to get up and get out before daylight.

Guys that drive and unload the beer truck and put it in the trunk of my car. Your probably wondering how is that part of the team,well someone has to put the trunk up and take it out, right?
Bartenders, well they serve it and I drink it to me that's teamwork.
Brewers make it send it to the distributors I buy it take it home put it in the fridge and drink it, now that's teamwork I say.😄

You really don't need the math. Just remember that the more you drink the better she looks. And, as Mickey says, all the girls get prettier at closing time...even if you're stone sober.
From my experience some are still borderline at closing time and beyond. 😄

Just what I needed tonight Adam, thanks. Back in the mid to late sixties we danced to many of those slower songs when you could hold them tight................
Those were the days Rob, the Friday and Saturday night dances at the firehall or whatever. The kids today will never get to experience the good times like we had in the day. Drag racing on the highway at night with the old man's car, sneaking around and smoking a cigarette so your parents wouldn't catch you. 😄

I couldn't agree more Adam. I was the keyboard player in a rock band back in 1958-59. No one could have ever guessed where things were going. I'd give anything to live those days again. Here's my hero from the way back then (he plays the piano almost as good as I did 🤩).
Did you play with your feet on the piano like he did or were you more refined and played in your bare feet, just asking for a friend. 😄

You should be aware of the Beer Goggles Effect John.
The "Beer Goggles" Effect:
In 2002, researchers at St. Andrews University and Glasgow University in Scotland took 80 college students and had half of them drink a "moderate" amount of alcohol -- between one and four servings, depending on gender and body weight. The other half, the control group, remained sober. Scientists showed each subject pictures of people of the opposite sex. In all cases -- male and female alike -- the experimental (tipsy) group rated each picture an average of 25 percent more attractive than the sober group did.
The effect can reportedly be traced to the nucleus accumbens. When you're looking at another human being, the nucleus accumbens is the area of the brain that decides how attractive that human being's face is. If you look at, say, George Clooney or Angelina Jolie, this area of your brain probably experiences increased neural firing. In other words, it's stimulated. As it turns out, alcohol, all by itself, stimulates the nucleus accumbens. So when you've have a few drinks, and you look at a face you may have judged as unattractive when you were sober, your brain, under the influence of alcohol, tells you that this face is in fact somewhat attractive. And the increase in perceived attractive seems to be directly proportional to the amount of alcohol consumed.
In a more recent study, this one conducted by researchers at England's Manchester University in 2005, scientists actually came up with a mathematical formula to calculate the extent of the "beer goggle" effect on a given individual in a given situation. Their reasoning for creating this formula is that alcohol is not really the only factor affecting the drunken perception of beauty. Other factors, according to their research, include:
How brightly lit the area is
The observer's eye-sight quality
The amount of smoke in the air
The distance of the observer from the observed
The formula goes like this:(An)2xd(S+1)
g= -----------
L x (Vo)2
where:An is the number of servings of alcohol
S is the smokiness of the area on a scale of 0 - 10
L is the lighting level of the area, measured in candelas per square meter, in which 150 is normal room lightning
Vo is Snellen visual acuity, in which 6/6 is normal and 6/12 is the lower limit at which someone is able to drive
d is the distance between the observer and the observed, measured in metersThe formula works out a "beer goggle" score ranging from 1 to 100+. When g = 1, the observer is perceiving the same degree of beauty he or she would perceive in a sober state. At 100+, everybody in the room is a perfect 10.
Say that again, something went wrong. 🤕 Never was any good at math.
